Wimbledon is Federer’s best chance to win 21st slam, says Wilander

LONDON, June 30 — Wimbledon is Roger Federer’s best chance to win another Grand Slam but, at 37, the Swiss maestro is no longer an outright favourite to prevail in multiple five-set contests over two weeks, seven-times Grand Slam champion Mats Wilander said.

Wilander counts Federer among his three favourites at the All England Club but expects Djokovic to be fired up after missing out on a second career Grand Slam following his defeat in the French Open semi-finals. “He’s not the favourite. Because of the five sets I think we don’t know how he’s going to react in a couple of five-set matches. I’m not sure if Federer is able to win in five sets anymore.

Wilander believes the next generation of players, including Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas and Canada’s Felix Auger Aliassime, can upset the ‘Big Three’ on their day, but lack the consistency to last through two weeks of top-level tennis.
